“We came up with a concept that we believed would be extremely effective in building our hospital’s database. However, we found ourselves becoming bogged down in the operational details. ChangeStar came along and by working with us, took our idea and made it more efficient and elegant. It was a wonderful example of the value a great agency can add.”
Jason Shauness, Director, Southampton Hospital Charity
“ChangeStar not only increased our income to a level we had thought impossible, they provided us with excellent strategic support. At the same time they gave us the confidence and management tools for us to grow our internal fundraising function. ChangeStar have had a lasting impact on our fundraising function.”
Andrew Copson, Chief Executive, Humanists UK

“We have worked with ChangeStar on a number of campaigns and they consistently deliver a great service. They are a creative, responsive and flexible partner to work with and have helped us to develop the way we engage and communicate with our donors and significantly improve the average gift we receive from our direct mail appeals.”
Mark Barkaway, Head of Fundraising and Communications, Sussex Wildlife Trust
“Since enlisting ChangeStar’s advice and support we have seen a massive boost in the level of positive response from our members and supporters to provide even more financial support to us. In some instances, the jump in response rate has been remarkable. I am certain that ChangeStar played a vital part in helping the Green Party to achieve its first parliamentary seat during the 2010 general elections through its assistance in generating the funds to run a successful campaign.”
David Murray, Chief Executive, The Green Party
